In manual mode, you can select a port manually through the buttons on the

Bitronics switch. You can also use this mode in conjunction with software to

see your switch in action!

• Press COMPUTER to select which computer port you wish to configure or

monitor. For the computer connected to Port 1, press the COMPUTER

button until the LED on Port 1 is lit up either in red or green.

• Press the PRINTER button until the LED of the appropriate device port

you wish to use is lit up.

For example, if you want

computer 2 to use the

device on port B, press the

COMPUTER button until the

LED on "2" is lit up. Then,

press the PRINTER button

until LED "B" is lit up.

To use File Transfer mode, press the PRINTER button until the LED on the

computer port turns green. When the LED turns green, the port is ready for

file transfer mode. For file transfer mode to be successful for both PCs, both

computer ports must be set to file transfer mode – which is evident when the

LEDs next to 1 and 2 are green. For more information on File Transfer, please

see page 25.

Note: Computer 1 can only file transfer to computer 2, and computer

3 can file transfer to computer 4. If you change the ports

manually using the buttons, the changes made will not be

reflected in the software.

NOTE: When installing software on any operating system, the

software must be installed on all the computers connected to

the Bitronics switch so that each machine can control the

switch properly.

Choose your operating system

Software installation: Windows®3.x

Insert the diskette labeled P27236 in your floppy drive. In the Program

Manager, click on File then click Run. In the space, type in "a:\setup.exe".

Follow the installation instruction prompts. After the setup program is done,

simply double-click on the correct icon to run the port selection program.

Software installation: MS-DOS

To switch port, simply click on the port letter of your choice, and your

computer will be connected to the device on the port chosen.

Software-Installation: MS-DOS

Enter the following at the DOS prompt and press ENTER:

Copy a:\dos\swport.com c:\SWPORT.com

SWPORT.com is a command-line executable. Please follow the syntax for

proper operation:

File Transfer in DOS and WINDOWS®3.x:

The file transfer feature of the Bitronics switch allows both computers to

connect a if there was a file transfer cable connected between them.

The LED of the corresponding computer port on the Bitronics switch will

turn green. This LED represents the computer you are on now, and is set for

file transfer mode.

The LED of the corresponding computer port on the Bitronics switch will

turn green. This LED represents the computer you are on now is set for file

transfer mode. Note that PC1 can only file transfer to PC2, and PC3 can

only file transfer to PC4. When both sets of PC LEDs on the Bitronics switch

are green, then the computers are ready for file transfer. At this point, the

cables and the Bitronics switch act as if it was a file transfer cable. You can

now run programs such as Windows‚ Direct Cable Connection, or LapLink®.

Please refer to their user manuals or websites for information on how to

configure their software. Just remember that your Bitronics switch setup

mimics the file transfer cable requirement.

BEFORE YOU INSTALL THE BELKIN BITRONICS SOFTWARE, YOU MUST

FIRST MAKE SURE THAT EACH DEVICE WORKS PROPERLY ON ITS OWN

WITH EACH COMPUTER. DO NOT CONNECT THE BITRONICS SWITCH TO

THE COMPUTERS OR INSTALL THE SOFTWARE UNTIL INSTRUCTED BY

THIS PROCEDURE!

1. Make sure that the printer port on your computer is set to ECP mode. To

do this, you must go into your computer’s BIOS or CMOS setup.

Instructions on how to do this differs from one computer to the next.

Please consult your computer manufacturer’s manual, tech support, or

website for information on how to do this. Please do not call Belkin Tech

Support regarding this because each computer’s BIOS setup routine is

different. Refer to the Appendices at the end of this manual for

information on several models of computers.

The BIOS setup routine prompt is displayed a few seconds after you turn

on your computer and hear its first beeps. Again, this varies from PC to

PC. Please consult the Appendices and/or your computer manufacturer’s

manual or their tech support for information on how to do this properly.

Usually you will see a message that reads PRESS DEL TO ENTER SETUP or

PRESS F2 TO ENTER SETUP. When in the setup program, there may be a

selection for "Integrated Peripherals", or "Peripheral Setup". Then, look

for "Parallel Port Type" or "LPT port type". Change that setting to say

"ECP" or "ECP/EPP". Save your settings then exit. When Windows®

restarts, it may find new hardware, and it may ask you for the Windows®

CD. Be prepared to insert the CD into the computer.

2. Make sure that the software and drivers for the devices to be shared are

properly installed on all computers.

For instance, if you are sharing a Zip®Drive and a printer between 2

computers, you will need to first connect and install the Zip®Drive drivers

on the first PC. Make sure that the Zip®Drive works perfectly on it, then

repeat the same installation process for the second PC. Then, you will

need to do the same installing the printer’s driver on both PCs as well.

This way, all the PCs have the drivers properly loaded so each one can

access either device without any problems, as if they were connected to

the computer individually.

Windows®95 / 98 and NT®
